Guests: Anne Hurlburt
Approval of Minutes- Minutes from the June meeting were unanimously approved.
Rec Pro rg�am Update- Anne provided feedback on the progress of the Rec Program,
indicating many of the activities had to be cancelled due to lack of participation. The
committee discussed a couple of possible reasons:
• Flier distribution not allowed in school
• Competition with other community programs
Comp Plan Committee- Karen and Anne provided an update, stating that the search had
been narrowed to four consulting firms. Anne outlined the tentative schedule for
approving the choice of consultant and initiation of necessary contracts.
Capitol Improvement Plan- Anne provided the draft CIP relating to P/R projects. The
committee discussed the project list, fine-tuning the descriptions and costs.
• Lilleskogen- determined to be the highest priority. The cost was adjusted slightly.
• Wind in the Pines- The need to improve the driveway was discussed, and the cost
was modified accordingly. WIP was also identified as a high priority.
• Hay Lake- The future use of this property was debated, along with the type of
fence that would be necessary should an athletic facility be developed. The
committee's recommendation is that it should blend with the historic character of
the surrounding landmarks. The committee marked Hay Lake as a low priority.
Dod e� ball- Dan gave a brief update on the progress of planning for the Taco Daze
dodgeball tournament. More information was to be available at the July meeting.
Miscellaneous- The committee also discussed the following:
• The need for all P/R members to tour all Scandia property holdings
• The need for committee members using power equipment in park development
activities to have fully documented training and/or certification in the use of such
equipment.
Next meeting: August 6, 2007
